Apropos of the giant powder ex-
plosion yesterday, Times man cali
ed upon a dealer in dangerous mate
rials by one of which Milo lost his
life and asked him to define the diff
ference between giant powder and
dynamite for the benefit of many
people who are ignorant on the sub
iect:
"Giant powder, dynamite and
nitro-glycerine are virtually, and al
most actually, the same thing" said
he. ''Nitro- glycerine aud dynamite
are identical, except in name, and
are made by mixing an oil and an
acid, glycerine and nitric acid. This
is naturally fluid, and explodes by
conclusion. For instance" saids the
powder man turning about in his
chair and reaching for a can that
stood on his desk.
Here the reporter edged toward
the door.
Il let fall one drop on the floor,
and presto! you and disappear
"Don't," said the Times man, and
the powder fend replaced the deadly
canister.
"Glant powder is simply nitro
glycerlne mixed with wood pulp and
moulded into sticks so as to be easily
handled. Neither the nitro-glycerlne
nor the giant powder can be explod-
ed without conclusion. For that
purpose Illuminating caps, which ex-
plode by fuse and cause concussion,
are used. They are SMALL" went OH
the powder man, shut, oh my.
Lingg, the Anarchist, blew, bis head
to pieces with one"
81 could take,'' said the powder
man, "a stick of giant powder"
Here he selected one from box on
his desk. Light it and burn it
without an explosion, but for your
sake forbear."
The reporter thanked him for his
consideration.
"The force of an explosion of
giant powder is downward. The
man who was killed yesterday must
have had Illuminating cap on the
stick of powder, which proximity
to the fire caused to explode. 1t
could not otherwise have gone off.
GENERALLY so per cent. of wood pulp
and 40 per cent. nitro glycerine make
up stick of giant powder"
"Say," said the powder man, as
the reporter was about to withdraw,
"d-y-n-a-m-i-t-e spells Dynamite, not
Dynamite, as some idiots call it,
with the accent on the nam, nor
'dinna-mite," as uncanny Scotchmen
call 1t. | just want to set you right"
said the powder man as he struck
match to light cigar, but the report
er saw only stick of giant powder,
the can of nitro-glycerine and the
| lighted match, and the powder man
was left to his reveries. Denver

Laugh and the world laughs with
you," is one of the lines in s'The
Commercial Tourists Bride" in
which Miss Agnes Herndon appeared
at Havlin's theatre last evening.
This line is a fair commentary on the
play for it is ''bridge of laughs"
from beginning to end. There is
nothing strained or unnatural in the
piece. The characters are such as
one meets in everyday walks of life,
but they are made to do some of the
funniest things ever enacted on the
stage. The humor is full of human
sympathy, and of the kind that will
always raise a laugh. It's chief ele-
ment is that it is story of everyday
life that all the world can understand
and enjoy,
Miss Herndon, who appears in
the character of Violet Granville
Smith, has the same clear cut voice
that helped to make Mary Anderson
famous. It viii be interesting to
the ladies to know that her wardrobe
is second to that of no actress or
the stage.

A LINE LOCATED.
lhe Sabine Pass and Bailey Line on
the Same Territory.

The Kansas City and Sabine Pass
railway officials have filed with the
clerk OF the circuit court proceedings
against certain land owners in Jack
son county to condemn right of way
lOO feet wide for the use of that
road. The projectors have only seen
tit to make known their line south of
the Blue, leaving their entrance into
the city mystery for the present.
The line commences on Blue river at
the confluence of Hart Grove creek
and Valley branch and runs in a
southerly direction up the valley of
Hart Grove creek along, or on, the
right of way indicated on the maps
as belonging to the Kansas City and
Southern railway to point a little
south of east of the town of New
Santa Fe where it takes a south
westerly course toward Bolton. The
sheriff has been busy for several days
serving the papers in the case and
the jury will be empaneled at the
September term of the circuit court.
As the Kansas City and Southern
interests are the most affected it is
not improbable that it will show
tight as soon as the officials are
notified what action has been taken.
The condemnation papers are not
served on each property owner along
the line, which naturally leads to the
supposition that some of the right
OF way has already been obtained.
The Kansas City and Southern peo-
pie also own some of the right of
way according to the testimony and
judgment of the circuit court in the
case of the Southern against the
Paola branch, which strengthens the
supposition that trouble is not very
far off unless an amicable arrange
ment has already been made between
the two companies.-Kansas City

Literary Notes.

Sportsmen who want to fill game
bags with the least possible expendi
ture of powder, will be interested in
Charles Ledyard Norton's illustrat-
ed description of "a Pot, Hunters
Paradise" to appear in The Ameri-
can Magazine for October.
Apropos of rumored large invest
ments in enterprises on Chinese soil,
G. B. Adams will describe in the
October American Magazine some of
the scenery and people of that far
distant land, as they appear to the
diplomatic circle resident at Peking.
Following the article on Chill in
the last Harper's, the next number
will contain one on Costa Rica by
the same writer, entitled ''The
Smallest of American Republics.
He says, ''Costa Rica was the first
! discovered of all the countries on
this continent, but of its resources
the least is known" After referring
to its settlement, nearly four hnu-
dred years ago, by the aged, forlorn
Columbus, he describes its present
luxuriance of tropical products, and
the crude development of its sur
prising resources in enormous ba
mana plantations, coffee groves, and
rubber trees. Vast improvements
have been made recently by the i'm
migration of Northern settlers into
this land of free fertility. The vol
canic nature of the country, which
permits only small edifces, seems tt
be paralleled in the barbaric republi
can government, which is occasion
ally upheaved by revolutions. TIL,
picturesque phases of life and seen
cry are represented in copious en-
cravings.

SHEFElELD.
1Crowded out last week.


 The winter course of lectures and en- tertainments of the Friendly Uniol opened on Friday night last in the Dewey Memorial building in 8 yer! suspicious way. The Rev James M King D D. of che Park Avenue Methodis, Episcopal church, was the lecturer, subject: "An Imperial City and an Imperial Fraud or Paris and the down fall of Napolean The Third". Those who heard it will never forget it, it was a masterpiece of graphic delineation. So vivid and natural was the portraiture of the City of Paris, and the leading characteristics of the French people as we'll as of the character of Napolean, and the diversified pressure brought to bear upon him driving him on into many entanglements, resulting finally in his overthrow, that one almost felt himself in the midst of the stirring scenes of the Franco-Prussian war. The people of Sheffield are to be congratulated on their good fortune. The lecturer is Primus inter Fares as minister in his own denomination and the most conspicuous before the eye of the church of which he is a member. His name is prominently mentioned throughout the connection for the Episcopacy, and if wide and varied talents, executive ability scholarly attachments and marked eff fectiveness in building up the churches he serves Is desirable, the Methodist church surely would make no mistake in calling him to this responsible office.

Al Intellectual Treat.

Editor of Ne,cs:-
 It is the opinion of many here that your Lakeville correspondent scarcely did justice to the series of lectures delivered in Academy hall by Dr Browne, in the meagre report of them furnished to the NEWS last week. We do not wish to intimate that any lnten- tonal oversight was meant, but as one of the many who felt benefited by the lectures in question, we feel 1t matter of justice to the lecturer to make our opinion public. We consider that the ideas and practical lessons advanced by the Dr are most wholesome in their effect upon the audience, and we'll calculated to epighten the mind, purify the affections, instruct, and at the same time afford a-source of profitable amuse- ment. These lectures appeal to the intelligent classes and to those who would study and understand the human nature which passes before them daily. We can in all confidence recommend them. Dr Browne gives his audiences the key to interpret human faces and expression SO that he who runs may read and make no mistakes. He has made many friends here, who have been benefited by his advice and who wish him success am

Cheap Newspaper.

The curse of this age is the cry for cheapness-the demand of the public for dollars worth of stuff for fifty cents in money. It is this demand that has led to the adulteration of every article of food and almost every article of common ware. The newspapers should have stood out against the de- grading and dangerous tendency-for it Is both dangerous and degrading. Many of them have yielded to it and have lost point and character by doing so. It is as much impossible for a newspaper to sell four cents worth of news for one cent as 1t is to sell dollars worth of sugar for twenty-five cents. The quan- tity may be measured out and delivered, but there will be deterioration if not adulteration in the quality Atlanta Constitution.

Boys, Read This.

Many people seem to forget that character grows-that 1t IS not some thing to put on ready-made with woman hood or manhood, but day by day, here little and there little. grows with the groth and strengthens with the strength, until good or bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man of business prompt, reliable, conscientious, yet clear-headed and energetic. When do you supposs he developed all those admirable qualities? When he was a boy. Let us see how a boy of ten years gets up in the morning, works, plays and studies, and we will tell you just what kind of man he will make The boy that IS late at breakfast. and late at school, stands poor chance to be a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties, be they ever so small, and ex- cuses himself by saying, 'I forget, I don't think" will never be a reliable man and the boy who finds pleasure in the suffering of weaker things, will never be noble, generous, kind man "a gentleman Busy Bee.
